That's pretty awesome!
My 700x32 Marathon Supremes have a big chunk missing from the tread. I'm not sure what caused it. I heard it happen, but whatever it was didn't stick in the tire. It left a 2mm by 4mm hole that lets me see the breaker layer, but it hasn't caused a flat (though now it probably will on the way home tonight). I've filled it with Shoe Goo a couple of times just to keep rocks from lodging in there, but I'm not sure that really helps much other than making me less anxious.
